Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
Pretty fast disk usage analyzer written in Go.
Gdu is intended primarily for SSD disks where it can fully utilize parallel processing. However HDDs work as well, but the performance gain is not so huge.
Head for the releases page and download the binary for your system.
See the installation page for other ways how to install Gdu to your system.
